Deeper Insights Smarter Decisions

Go beyond the surface with detailed Project and Business level reports and predictive analytics. Understand trends, identify opportunities, and drive growth with data you can trust.

Profitability report

know the Exact profitability of your projects

The Project Profitability Report is a critical feature because it gives you real-time visibility into the financial health of a project, allowing you to stay in control rather than reacting after it’s too late. By continuously comparing expected profit with actual performance, it highlights whether a project is on track, over budget, or underperforming. This immediate insight helps identify issues like overspending, missed variations, or unbilled work early, so corrective action can be taken before profits are impacted. Ultimately, it supports smarter decision-making by ensuring every financial update, whether a bill or invoice is reflected instantly, helping you keep projects on budget and maintain profitability.

Buy Variance Report

Manage your Quotes vs Bills like a pro

The Buy Variance Report is an important feature because it provides a detailed, side-by-side comparison of quoted costs versus actual supplier bills, helping you clearly understand where your project is gaining or losing money. By breaking this information down into categories and sub-categories, it offers a more granular level of insight, making it easier to pinpoint exactly where cost variances are occurring. The built-in colour coding allows users to quickly identify problem areas at a glance, while the ability to add notes ensures that any overspending or savings can be explained and communicated to management. Overall, this feature strengthens cost control, improves transparency, and supports more accurate back-costing and future project estimating.

Progress payments

take the guess work out of forecasting

The Progress Payment Forecast Report is a crucial feature because it gives construction businesses clear visibility over their cash flow, which is essential for maintaining financial stability throughout a project. By outlining expected, requested, paid, overdue, and outstanding payments in one place, it helps users understand exactly when money is coming in, and where there may be delays or risks. This forward-looking insight allows teams to proactively manage income, follow up on overdue payments, and plan ahead with greater confidence. Ultimately, it supports stronger financial control, reduces the risk of cash flow shortages, and helps ensure the business can continue operating smoothly while projects are underway.

Projected income

A Forward Looking view of your projected income

The Projected Income Report is an important feature because it provides a clear, forward-looking view of your business’s potential revenue, helping you plan and make informed financial decisions with confidence. By capturing estimates and variations at different stages, such as sent, accepted, or declined, it allows you to track the full sales pipeline and understand what income is likely to convert. This visibility helps identify opportunities, monitor performance, and forecast cash flow more accurately. Ultimately, it supports better strategic planning by giving you a comprehensive picture of upcoming income and the factors influencing it.

CRM & Sales Reports

Sales Reporting Source of Lead

The Source of Lead report is an important feature because it gives clear visibility into where your business’s enquiries are coming from, allowing you to evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. By presenting this information in an easy-to-understand visual format, it helps you quickly identify which channels are generating the most leads and which may need improvement. The ability to drill down into sub-sources provides even deeper insight, enabling more targeted decision-making. Ultimately, this report supports smarter marketing strategies, better allocation of resources, and helps drive higher-quality leads and business growth.

CRM & Sales Reports

know the Exact profitability of your projects

The Salespeople Enquiries report is an important feature because it provides clear insight into individual sales performance, helping businesses understand who is generating the most opportunities and potential revenue. By allowing you to view both the number and value of enquiries won, it gives a well-rounded perspective on performance, not just activity but also impact. The interactive and drill-down capabilities make it easy to explore the data in more detail, while the ranking of top salespeople helps identify high performers and areas for improvement. Ultimately, this report supports better sales management, accountability, and more informed decisions to drive revenue growth.

As a small building company, I rely on the integrity of supporting companies to allow my business to improve our services and grow our business. As a start-up company I tried different customer service/project management styled programmes that would suit my business needs and never found the right fit. It wasn't until I found Rave Build that I was able to trust the system to support my business as it needed to be. With the ongoing 1-on-1 support and training for my staff, the easy to use system allows me to focus on the tasks I need to be focused on as the business owner and let Rave do the rest for me.

I only regret not implementing rave sooner. For the past half-year, we've been utilising Rave, and the difference it has made in streamlining project management, quoting, and back costing has been truly remarkable. The user-friendly nature of the software, coupled with the excellent training provided, has made the transition a breeze. Additionally, the support from the Rave team has been exceptional, always ready to assist whenever we encounter any difficulties. Looking back, I only regret not implementing this solution sooner.

It's incredibly beneficial,
